All of the Azure information you don’t need to miss from Microsoft Construct 2025

We’ve pulled collectively the highest 25 bulletins at Microsoft Construct 2025 throughout the Azure enterprise—spanning Azure AI Foundry, Azure infrastructure, Azure app platform, Azure databases and Microsoft Material, and our GitHub household.

At Microsoft Construct, we got here collectively to discover the following frontier: how builders will form an agentic internet. What felt completely different this 12 months was gathering at a time of such exponential technological progress, making the ability of group and the alternate of concepts extra very important than ever. We’re reminded that in instances of speedy change, open collaboration is what drives innovation. 

ChatGPT from OpenAI stands out as a primary instance of the collaboration and innovation Microsoft is turning into recognized for. With over 500 million weekly energetic customers, ChatGPT is likely one of the fastest-growing apps in historical past, and it’s constructed completely on Azure services and products. This deep collaboration is greater than only a success story—it’s a blueprint for what’s doable when builders harness the total energy of the Azure platform. As Jay Parikh, EVP of CoreAI, mentioned in his keynote, “as builders, our most treasured useful resource is time,” and time is essential for our clients and their enterprise wants. Collectively we need to harness AI to reshape enterprise processes and bend the curve on innovation so everybody utilizing the ability of Azure can obtain extra. 

Under, we’ve summarized the highest 25 bulletins throughout Azure’s enterprise to maintain you forward—spanning Azure AI Foundry, Azure infrastructure, Azure software providers, Azure databases, Microsoft Material, and our GitHub household. It’s wonderful to see how AI is increasing the scope of Azure and to consider how far the cloud will take us.

Keep updated with Azure

We’re continually impressed by what builders are constructing on Azure—whether or not it’s breakthrough analysis, important public providers, or progressive buyer experiences. Use instances from know-how groups at the UK Met Workplace, Stanford Drugs, AISIN, Carvana, and the NFL are only a few examples of how builders are already coding in the direction of this agentic future. It’s your suggestions, creativity, and belief that form Azure’s evolution, and we’re genuinely grateful to be part of your journey.

You’ll be able to nonetheless watch the day 1 ‘opening’ keynote, the day 2 ‘unpack the tech’ keynote, and stream key periods from the catalog. We invite you to hitch the Microsoft developer group and to proceed rising expertise via Microsoft Study.

To wrap, listed here are a number of moments that stood out—capturing only a slice of the power in Seattle.
